Risks and Uncertainties in Low-Carbon Energy Pathways

The text examines Kenya's energy transition, focusing on the shift toward private-sector participation in the geothermal power sector and the effort to modernize the cooking sector to increase the sustainability of charcoal use.

• Kenya aims to achieve middle-income status by 2030, a goal that relies on the rapid expansion of its energy sector as detailed in its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).
• Geothermal power has transitioned from a niche technology to a mainstream one and is now moving from a period of public-led investment toward increased private-sector participation.
• Kenya is implementing a dual approach to modernize its cooking sector and improve charcoal sustainability through regulations, alternative fuels, and improved kiln and cookstove technologies, noting that urbanization will impact resources if charcoal remains the primary fuel.
